A Nephew Of Gen. Scott MurderousIy As
sauIted in a House of IlI-Repute.

RICHMOND, VA, June 20.-A trag-
ical event took place here last night
in house of ill-repute kept by a
woman named Hubbard, for years
one of the city's notorious charact-
ers. Edward Levy, an admirer of
the woman, visited the house yester-
day evening. A quarrel ensued be-
tween them. Winfield Scott, a
nephew of the late General Winfield
Scott, commandment chief of the
United States army at the outbreak
of the war, was in the house. He
defended the woman and handled
Levy so roughly that he cried for
mercy. Scott desisted and allowed
Levy to rise. Levy drew knife and
stabbed Scott in the neck, severing
an artery and penetrating the throat.
DIR. Brock was called to see the
wounded man and tied the artery.
Scott is not considered fatally wound
ed, although his injuries are painful
and serious. Levy has fled. Scott
is well known in society circles, and
is prominent figure at one of the
leading clubs of this city.

A FAMILY AFFAIR.

In Fayette county, Ga, last Fri
day, a young man named Handy
eloped with the daughter of Farmer
Stame. Four brothers of Handy
had previously married four daugh-
tiers of Stames, although the latter
had objected to some of the mar
riages. When he heard of his last
single daughters elopement he was
very angry, but after thinking the
matter over he said Hang it, if
they want the whole family all right;
I'll marry the old woman myself"
He accordingly rode to the house of
Mrs. Handy, whose husband died
recently, proposed, was accepted
and the nuptial knot was soon tied.

Fatal Explosion in a Mine.

WILKEsBARRE, June l8.-Shortly
after the men employed in the twin
shaft, at Pittson Junction, had gone
to work this morning there was a
violent explosion of gas, which was
heard for miles around, and which
caused rock, coal and timber to
shoot out of the shaft like VIC
lent volcanic eruption. The head
house at the top of the shaft was
smashed into thousand pieces.
Five mel. were terribly injured
perhaps all of them, fatally. The
victims are: Patrick Barrett, Ed.
Mooney, Bernard Dempsey, Michael
Finors and Martin Donohoe. Bar
rett and Mooney will die. The ex-
plosion was caused by the naked
lights on the men coming in con-
tact with the gas as they went down
the shaft.

some. There is much important
business to attend to, and they have
entered upon it in brotherly har-
mony, which we hope may be the
leading spirit of the session. Judg-
ing from the various reports, the or
der is rapidly spreading over the
State, and is destined to do much
good, in uniting disunited people.
After the committees had finished
their reports, DR.. B. II. Stillyard de-
livered well-written address, at the
close of which they closed until 8

PRES. CLEVELAND has

PRES. CLEVELAND has backed
down again. He countermands the
order issued by him last week, COM
handing the confederate flags, cap
tured during the late war, to be re-
turned to the confederate states.
Righteous indignation greeted his
first command. In case these flags
should be returned who would re
ceivc them? Surely not the South
ern States, for they are states of the
Union, one and inseparable con-
sequently an imaginary southern
confederacy is the proper tribunal
to receive them, and since no such
thing as this is in existence the flags
could not be sent there, hence they
must remain where they are until
Congress, the only authority, rele-
gates them elsewhere.

UNDER the head of something new in
another column, will be found an adver-
tisement of the CLONE Comfort" cooking
range. This range is sold by the Wrought
Iron Range Co., of st. Louis, Mo-, who are
the manufacturers also. The company own
all the wagons and teams connected with
the business. They employ their own
statesmen, and sell only from their wagons,
deliver and put up every range sold, and
fully warrant it to work to perfection.
They have no "middle'' or ''commission'
in the business. This is something new
and is made entirely of mallable and
wrought iron. No cast in it. Made on the
same principle of large ranges used in al
most all large hotels, bnt in size for pri-
waite families We would advise all to ex-
anime this range whether you have any
idea of buying or not. 1t never hurts a
man to see all the latest improvements in
every line ; and particularly does it inter-
est housekeepers when something new in
the way of a cooking apparatus is present
ed. This part of their business never
ends, as cooking must be done at every
season, and under almost all circumstan-
ces.

A Boys Fatal Jealousy.
HE SHOOTS HIS RIVAL WHILE THE LAT
TER rs PLAYING BASEBALL.


ST. JOSEPH, Mo-, June 18.-Young
Albert Brummell some weeks ago
had a difficulty with lad named
Michaelstag. The latter threatened
vengeance, but is was thought to be
only boys foolish threat. Last
evening, while Brummell was engag-
ed in playing ball in the eastern part
of the city, shot was fired from
clump Of trees, and the lad fell to
the ground with a bullet in his
abdomen. The rest of his play
mates became frightened and scat
tered in all directions The police
were notified and responded immed-
lately, and took the boy to the city
hospital Brummell is only sixteen
years Of age, son of prominent
and wealthy German. 1t is under
stood that the quarrel occurred
concerning the jealousness OF young
Michaelstag, who imagined that
Brummell was trying to usurp him
in the affections of certain young
German school girl. There is great
Indignation in German circles, and
every effort is being made to cap
ture the supposed assassin. Young
Brummell is at the point of death.

'WHY DO WE CELEBRATE THE 4th
OF July ?''-This question which is
not so easily answered by many people
of our State and Nation. First, be-
cause some persons have not enjoyed
the opportunities which seem so uni
yersal at the present time. 1t may be
free schools were not in existence dur
ing their earlies years, or if they were,
they may have been so poor that they
could not attend school, hence the his
torical chestnut-the 4th of July means
nothing to them except idle words.
Once we visited a school prior to an
examination that was to exhibit to the
patrons, the advancement and pro
fciency of the pupils. We do not make
the point of ignorance but we direct
this thus, at the pernicious system in
vogue in so many schools in our Land,
viz: examining. One little fellow on
account of his brightness and eager
ness to reply to any interrogatives, we
singled him as fit subject to quiz.
"Well my little man, why do we
shoot frecrackers, fire cannons and the
like on the 4th of July ?" The little fe'-
low paused a moment and replied: "If
you please sir, George Washington was
born on the 4th of July" How many
hundred answers would we hear, were
we to go into those regions of ignorance
and dependency, where the youth have
no shrine at which to worship know
ledge, nor the means, oftentimes, of
knowing what the 22nd of February is
celebrated for, or who was the Father
of his Country. Secondly, blissful ig-
norance as to the import of the 4th is
common among many foreigners who
have come upon the American soil as
jewellers. They might utter more es-
tranged answers respecting the Declar-
alton of Independence than the school
boy. If they are to live among US as
simulate our manners and customs
ape our educational institutions final
ly become naturalized it is of great i'm
portanee that the day we celebrate be
studied and read by them.

WHILE at the State House the 9TH
er day, Governor Wilson and Secre-
tary Walker chaffed us about having
so many senators. We replied by
saying that the eastern panhandle
seldom got a chance for the office,
but with Senator in Jefferson and
one in Berkeley and reconsidera-
ton of the location of Capitol so
that it would come to Martinsburg,
we would be happy.

tain. There is not enough walters
by 100, and even should one get a
waiter to fill his order he must shell
out an enormous amount of money
to pay his bill. Just imagine paying
the following prices: Porterhouse,
75c. coffee, l0c. cabbage, 10c.;
peas, Ice; chicken, SOC ice-cream,
zoe plate. Now just imagine some
poor fellow sitting down with his
girl, who ordered the above mention
ed edibles. If he ate the same, his
bill would be 1920 for one meal.
Then, if he has brought no victuals
with him, he must either pay that
amount for those supplies, or go
hungry, for no other place to get
eating can be found. You may be
sure, reader, the young beau' shun
Bay Ridge, or take lunches with
them for their sweetheart's. The
ride home was delightful. A thun-
der and lightning storm was brew
ing, and the waves rocked the steam
er. Then the heavens became clear
and thousands of stars were reflect
ed in the blue waves and the red and
shining lights in the lighthouses
glimmered in the distance like so
many "Will-o'-the- Wisps."
Among the Martinsburgers who
now regard Baltimore as their home,
we had the pleasure Of meeting Mr..
Jim Shaffer and wife, nee Neer, and
bouncing baby boy. Jim is looking
well and still loves to talk Of the old
burg. Then Charley Rousch, Esq,
has opened in his own name, COM
modious and handsome jewelry store,
on Lexington street, where he has
quite large business and bright
prospects for happy future. He is
as genial as ever, and enjoys very
good health. Frank DeGrange and
Charley Brown are doing well and
enjoying themselves to their hearts
content. Frank is becoming corpu-
lent and swings along like the happy
fellow he is. Bonnie Pitzer is doing
well and is at home in the city, with
host of friends and a large circle
of acquaintance.
Miss Lille Neeris visiting her SIS
ter, Mrs. Shaffer, and has been hav-
ing very pleasant time. She has
host of admirers among both sexes.
On Thursday night, Ethel Louise,
the pretty little five-months-old baby
of Mr.. Harry L. Pitcher and Lou III.
Pitcher nee Pitzer was christened at
their residence on Mount Street. The
little one wore a handsome lace dress,
trimmed with ribbon and flowers and
looked quite cute. There was a
fashionable gathering to celebrate
the christening. Among those pres
ent intimately known to the writer,
were Mr.. and Mrs. j. Menslage, and
daughter, Miss Daisy; Miss Bette
Thies; Miss L. Neer; Miss L. McNan-

Mr.. Joseph N. Rhodes; Mr.. George

Teachers institute.

The Institution convened on Mon
day afternoon past, with a goodly num-
Der of teachers present. Profs' New
ell and Payne have proved the right
men in the right place. The former is
State Supt. of Maryland the latter
holds professorship in the University
of Michigan. Wednesday evening a
fair audience greeted the lecture of DR..
Newell. His subject was "Young
America" which he handled in his
most entertaining and forcible manner.
The doctor is a man of erudite research
and profound knowledge. His lecture
was characterized by short, terse SEN
fences, though now and then abound
ing in well rounded periods that sig
nalized the illusions of Joseph Addi-
son. Thursday night Prof. Payne de-
lighted his hearers with his able and
scholarly lecture. In both of these lee.
lures the people present took great
pleasure, and were disappointed in not
having similar exercises throughout the
Institute.
Hon. B. S. Morgan, State Supt.,
of Public instruction, was in atten-
dance during the greater portion of
the Institute. BY his courteous
manners, and gentlemanly bearing,
he won the admiration and respect
of those who had the pleasure of
meeting him. He is an efficient
Sup't., though quite young man.
His untiring interest in the Public
school is deep and lasting.
